I was just looking around on the Dimarzio website and I noticed that they listed the output levels in millivolts. Isn't the best way to determine if 2 humbuckers will go well together to look at the output levels?
I have no idea what to think of a resonant peak or DC resistance which are listed on the SD tone charts.
Yeah mostly a higher DC resistance would indicate a hotter pickup but this isn't the case all the time.
Example: some guitars are being sold with a PAF pro in the neck and and a Tone Zone in bridge. PAF pro has 8K resistance and the Tone zone has 17K. Basing on those readings I would say that the Tone Zone is way hotter than the PAF pro and that they wouldn't match well together.
However the output levels are both around the 300 millivolts, that's a good way to determine if the pups would match in a guitar?
Isn't the general rule that a neck humbucker should at least have 1k more resitance over the neck pickup in order to balance out well? Other wise the neck on would be too overpowering. But what about the other way around?
